Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Use past tense consistently, avoid repetition, give a clear topic sentence then one or two concise supporting details. Link ideas smoothly and correct grammar (e.g., "I had a bike" not "I do have"). Keep it to no more than 3–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My father bought me a small tricycle that I used to ride around the neighborhood. I loved it because it let me play outside with my friends every afternoon.

Suggestion: Start with a clear opinion sentence, use correct tense and smoother linking words (e.g., "However", "because"), avoid vague phrases and incorrect verbs like "write". Give one or two specific reasons or an example to support your view.

Example: They used to be more popular when I was a child, but now fewer children ride bikes. Many kids prefer playing mobile games or using tablets, so outdoor activities like riding a tricycle are less common.

× Yes, I do have a bike.

✓ Yes, I had a bike.

The question asks about possession in the past ('when you were a child'), so the student should use past tense. Using 'do have' is present-tense and mismatches the time frame. Suggestion: use 'had' to match the past context.

× When I was a child, it's my father who brought it for me.

✓ When I was a child, it was my father who bought it for me.

The sentence mixes present ('it's') with a past context and uses 'brought' where 'bought' (to purchase) is intended. Use past 'it was' to match 'When I was a child' and 'bought' if the father purchased it. Suggestion: use consistent past tense verbs.

× It was a it was a tricycle mainly, but we used to call it a bike.

✓ It was mainly a tricycle, but we used to call it a bike.

The original repeats 'it was a' and has awkward word order. Reordering to 'It was mainly a tricycle' avoids repetition and clarifies meaning. Suggestion: remove the duplicated phrase and place 'mainly' before the noun phrase.

× It was used to popular in my country when I was child, but if I see now it's not that popular 'cause nowadays kids are more interested in technologies or they spend a lot of times in mobiles games.

✓ Bikes used to be popular in my country when I was a child, but now they are not that popular because nowadays kids are more interested in technology or spend a lot of time on mobile games.

Multiple issues: 'used to' should be followed by the base verb ('be') not 'was used to'; 'in my country when I was child' needs articles and tense: 'when I was a child'; 'if I see now' is awkward — use 'now' or 'these days'; 'it's not that popular' should agree with plural 'bikes' -> 'they are not that popular'; 'technologies' is uncountable in this sense -> 'technology'; 'a lot of times' should be 'a lot of time' and 'in mobiles games' should be 'on mobile games'. Suggestion: use 'used to be', correct articles, match plural subjects with plural verbs, and use correct prepositions.

× They barely write tricycle or any bike now.

✓ They barely ride tricycles or any bikes now.

'Write' is incorrect; the intended verb is 'ride' for bicycles/tricycles. Also match plural nouns ('tricycles', 'bikes') with plural sense. Suggestion: use the verb 'ride' and plural nouns to reflect general habits.
